Start It Up Episode 34: Unifi-Ed Launches the Pact for Public Education

Local non-profit Unifi-Ed this week announced its Pact for Public Education, a sweeping landmark initiative to improve every public school in Hamilton County.  At the center of The Pact are 4 key points of action to erase disparities between schools and make access to quality education more equitable.

On this week's episode, Unifi-Ed Executive Director Elizabeth Crews discusses how parents, teachers, and concerned citizens can take concrete action to support The Pact.  Elizabeth explains why going to a good school shouldn't depend on the neighborhoods students are from or whether they happen to win an education lottery.

Susanne Burnham was the Executive Producer of Start it Up from October of 2014 to August of 2015. She is a graduate of The Company Lab’s Accelerator. She is the Founder and CEO of Click Click Boom, a graduate of the University of Georgia and a U.S. Army Veteran (Desert Storm). She launched her career in the mobile tech industry in 2009, and in 2012 relocated to Chattanooga because of EPB’s fiber optic network and to participate in the City’s growth as a tech and startup hub.
